I have just purchased my first Audi. Love the car, but I can't seem to put gas in it. The auto shutoff on the pump nozzle kicks off every 2 or 3 tenths of a gallon. I tried repositioning the nozzle to every angle I could. I even tried a couple different gas stations with the same result. Anyone else had this problem with their A4?

...but not to the extent that you're saying. I found that it helps to back the nozzle out of the filler neck 'bout an inch or two and try again. I can only consistantly re-create your auto shutoff problem if I shove the gas nozzle all the way in and try to fill the tank. Try my suggestion. Hope it works.

then just pull it back like you would when you fill up a 5 gallon container. I had that problem at one gas station here in CA.

This frustrated me for seven months. Finally I realized that if I don't push the nozzle all the way into the filler neck, it doesn't happen. All I had to do was pull the nozzle back an inch and a half or so.
